Scholarship details
Amazingly, Central University located in Ghana was founded in 1984. However, it would take a decade-plus to install the official School of Graduate Studies in 2011.
The university’s origins are considered within a short-term Pastoral training institute. These do fall under certain rules and guidelines that students will need to read about and follow. Later on, the university became incorporated under a new name and the name everyone knows it by now, Central Bible College. Yet, back in the year 1993, the name was changed to now the world-known Central Christian College.
After updating all of the available programs to the baccalaureate level. This has allowed all of the programs to become in line with national aspirations.
